The POC Joint VPD Air Protector is a lightweight and flexible joint guard designed for mountain biking and active sports. Crafted from high-quality elastic material, this monochromatic black protector offers a comfortable fit while providing essential impact protection. Utilizing advanced VPD technology, the guard adapts to the body to ensure optimal freedom of movement and safety during intense riding sessions.
Advantages
This protector features a highly ventilated design that prevents overheating, making it comfortable for extended use. The patented VPD Air compound is engineered to mold to the body, providing a barely-there feel that does not restrict movement. The outer layer is constructed from reinforced, tear-resistant fabric, ensuring durability even after repeated impacts. Additionally, the inclusion of reflective patches enhances visibility in low-light conditions, while the user-friendly Velcro straps allow children to easily adjust the fit themselves.

How to use
To use the POC Joint VPD Air Protector, slide the guard over the desired joint, either the knee or the elbow. Position the protector so the VPD padding covers the center of the joint. Secure the fit by tightening the elastic straps and fastening the Velcro closures. Ensure the neoprene antislip patches are in direct contact with the skin or base layer to prevent the guard from sliding during activity.
What to consider before purchase
- Measure the joint circumference to ensure the correct size
- Verify if the intended use requires soft or hard-shell protection
- Consider that the pads are versatile and can be worn on either knees or elbows
Usage recommendations
Regularly inspect the fabric and padding for signs of wear after significant impacts. Clean the protectors by hand using mild soap and water, and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the VPD material.
